0 - 100 0010 0010 - 0010 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001 0110 0000 0000 0100 1001: 64 bit double precision IEEE 754 binary floating point representation standard converted to decimal
What are the steps to convert
0 - 100 0010 0010 - 0010 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001 0110 0000 0000 0100 1001, a 64 bit double precision IEEE 754 binary floating point representation standard to decimal?
1. Identify the elements that make up the binary representation of the number:
The first bit (the leftmost) indicates the sign,
1 = negative, 0 = positive.
0
The next 11 bits contain the exponent:
100 0010 0010
The last 52 bits contain the mantissa:
0010 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001 0110 0000 0000 0100 1001
2. Convert the exponent from binary (from base 2) to decimal (in base 10).
The exponent is allways a positive integer.
100 0010 0010(2) =
1 × 210 + 0 × 29 + 0 × 28 + 0 × 27 + 0 × 26 + 1 × 25 + 0 × 24 + 0 × 23 + 0 × 22 + 1 × 21 + 0 × 20 =
1,024 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 32 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 0 =
1,024 + 32 + 2 =
1,058(10)
3. Adjust the exponent.
Subtract the excess bits: 2(11 - 1) - 1 = 1023,
that is due to the 11 bit excess/bias notation.
The exponent, adjusted = 1,058 - 1023 = 35
4. Convert the mantissa from binary (from base 2) to decimal (in base 10).
The mantissa represents the fractional part of the number (what comes after the whole part of the number, separated from it by a comma).
0010 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001 0110 0000 0000 0100 1001(2) =
0 × 2-1 + 0 × 2-2 + 1 × 2-3 + 0 × 2-4 + 0 × 2-5 + 0 × 2-6 + 0 × 2-7 + 0 × 2-8 + 0 × 2-9 + 0 × 2-10 + 0 × 2-11 + 0 × 2-12 + 0 × 2-13 + 0 × 2-14 + 0 × 2-15 + 0 × 2-16 + 0 × 2-17 + 0 × 2-18 + 0 × 2-19 + 0 × 2-20 + 0 × 2-21 + 0 × 2-22 + 0 × 2-23 + 0 × 2-24 + 0 × 2-25 + 0 × 2-26 + 0 × 2-27 + 0 × 2-28 + 0 × 2-29 + 0 × 2-30 + 0 × 2-31 + 1 × 2-32 + 0 × 2-33 + 1 × 2-34 + 1 × 2-35 + 0 × 2-36 + 0 × 2-37 + 0 × 2-38 + 0 × 2-39 + 0 × 2-40 + 0 × 2-41 + 0 × 2-42 + 0 × 2-43 + 0 × 2-44 + 0 × 2-45 + 1 × 2-46 + 0 × 2-47 + 0 × 2-48 + 1 × 2-49 + 0 × 2-50 + 0 × 2-51 + 1 × 2-52 =

0.125 + 0.000 000 000 232 830 643 653 869 628 906 25 + 0.000 000 000 058 207 660 913 467 407 226 562 5 + 0.000 000 000 029 103 830 456 733 703 613 281 25 + 0.000 000 000 000 014 210 854 715 202 003 717 422 485 351 562 5 + 0.000 000 000 000 001 776 356 839 400 250 464 677 810 668 945 312 5 + 0.000 000 000 000 000 222 044 604 925 031 308 084 726 333 618 164 062 5 =

5. Put all the numbers into expression to calculate the double precision floating point decimal value:
(-1)Sign × (1 + Mantissa) × 2(Adjusted exponent) =
(-1)0 × (1 + 0.125 000 000 320 158 344 280 230 267 031 583 935 022 354 125 976 562 5) × 235 =
